1995 World Championship, Felixstowe, United Kingdom

80 competitors from 11 countries participated
July 22-28 at Felixstowe Ferry (UK).

The weather was good during the whole week, the wind was coming from different directions, but every day, except for one, steady and strong enough to sail against the strong tidal currents. The third race was held in moderate to strong winds and moderate waves. On Wednesday no racing was possible, in the morning because of to big waves and strong winds, in the afternoon the starting procedure was abandoned because of a thunderstorm coming. After one day without sailing, it was only possible to sail six of the scheduled seven races.

During the last race it was, in light winds, possible for both Bjorn Foerslund (SWE) and Jorgen Lindhardtsen (DEN) to become World champion, but Bjorn got the advantage. Jorgen had to win with Bjorn finishing worse than 4. But at the last leeward mark Bjorn was worse than ten and Jorgen was seventh. The leading boats went to the left, which had been the favoured side before, but Jorgen and Rudiger Prinz (GER) went to the right, hoping for a windshift caused by a cloud. As the fleet came together again Jorgen was first, only 200m to sail to become World champion the second time after 1978, but Rudiger overtook him on the finish line. The World champion 1995 in the OK Dinghy is Bjorn Førslund.

Raphael Szukiel from Poland is the new Junior OK Champion.
